Welcome back to another edition of our classroom blog!
Here’s what we’ve been working on:
Reading: We’ve been reading about popcorn and learning about compound words and vocabulary. Next week we will begin our Super Switch where our second graders will be traveling to other rooms with their group and working on different reading activities. This will be for 30 minutes every day.
Math: One and two step word problems will be our focus for awhile. We will be working on fact fluency all year.
Writing: We continue to work on small moments.
Social Studies/Science: We are finishing up learning about Communities. Next week we will begin to study Landforms. Be watching for a note asking for your help to make clay for your second grader. We will use this clay to make a landform relief project. Also, your second grader will need to bring in a shoe box top to make our project. Shoe box tops will need to be here by Thursday, October 27. I’d like to say THANKS in advance for helping with this project.
